Earlier this week, the Athletic reported DeChambeau and his team spent part of Masters week meeting with organizations to discuss options if he opted to leave LIV Golf.
"Speculation persists that, in the wake of others leaving LIV for the PGA Tour earlier this year, his ask to resign is up to $500 million," Brody Miller of The Athletic reported. "DeChambeau has even used his YouTube success as a leverage play with all potential suitors, indicating he’s open to only filming content and playing the four major championships."
Just a few days later, DeChambeau broke his silence on the rumors surrounding LIV Golf's future and his place in the league moving forward.

During a conversation with Flushing It, DeChambeau was asked, "With his current contract up at the end of this year, how are his negotiations going for a renewal?"
“We're still working on a potential contract. I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution," he said. "But as of right now, my job is to help make the league work after this year. I just feel like I have a responsibility. I've put a lot of effort into it. So that’s what I’m going to do, we’re going to make this work.”
He was then asked what would happen if he and LIV Golf can't work out a new deal.
“As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense," he said.
It seems like DeChambeau plans to remain with LIV Golf for the foreseeable future despite rumors of the league's funding problem and recent departure of five-time major champion Brooks Koepka.
